Visions of Imminent Despair (CONT.)

Luna froze before she could respond to the few Angels near her. The sudden appearance of Flat Cap made her facepalm, shaking her head slightly in disappointment. She figured she'd just need to keep an eye on more folks now. With a sigh, she turned her attention to Duster.

"We know it's invulnerable. Attacks bounce off it no matter who's attacking and it sees us as mild annoyances. I do remember, just before everyone blacked out, there was a shining light that emanated from deep within the cave. My guess is if we make it deeper in the cave, while avoiding the ghost, we can find the source of that bright light. It could be a clue as to how we can weaken it..."

At least she hoped that was the case.

Before Gloves and Sapphire enters this episode and gone into the dark cave with their comrades, finding the ghost dragon, and find its weakness, here's how their story goes...

Gloves and Sapphire was bored out of their minds in the abbey. Sure their's chores around the abbey to keep them occupied, but they want to spread their wings and go around places in Daten City and do little activity for themselves like all beings do. Sadly they can't, after the incident of the massive flood in Daten City, Top Coat vowed to slander the name of the city's Angels and that of the Abbey. All they did and the rest of the Angels was to protect Top Coat, the factory, and the remaining of the water source from a ghost, which is his father, from being taken, but never predict the outcome of the massive over flood that ghost has within him and cause lots of damage to Daten City. Of course Gloves and Sapphire are mad from what Top Coat said to Strappon and to the rest of the Angels and Sapphire was gonna whoop the mens' butt, but Gloves stops her by grabbing her left arm and told her, "Its not worth it, Sapphire." He said. "The men suffer enough and we must leave, before his guards does the work for us." Sapphire reaaally want to whoop the mens' butt for saying mean stuff about them, but hearing what Gloves said to her and see the men and his guards around the whole gang with seriousness on their faces, there's no way she's going to whoop him. Growling quietly, she turn towards Gloves, both remain silent, gave one last glare at Top Coat, and they left the damage factory with the rest of the gang with wet clothings and namesakes.

So when Top Coat called the medias and send them to the Abbey, his plans are set in motion. Gloves and Sapphire hate being coop up in the Abbey with the rest of the Angels and really hate seeing the medias standing out door and calling them names and mean things about them. All they did for now is close their curtains and do their chores around the Abbey. As day pass by and busying with their chores, Strappon speak into the Abbeys Mic Speaker and told everyone that they're going to Iceland to help a urgent messenger in need of assistance. "Iceland?" They said, simultaneously. They never gone to a far place before, but it's probably best to do so since they couldn't take another minute to hear the media renting about them. 

As they gone to Iceland, they where amaze to see Iceland for the first time and took some pictures of the land and took little selfies along away with their cameras. When Gloves and Sapphire follow the group and found the destination, their mouths drop as they see the farm was expensive and drakes running around the field. "HOW EXPENSIVE IS THIS PERSON?!" They thought, simultaneously. When the man came out of a small house, they don't know who he is but guess he's the guy that own this land. Approaching towards the group, introducing himself with a warm welcome smile, and telling the situation of what's going on, it was a lot to take in from what Haircuff said to the group. Especially the part of a mysterious ghost turned once a beautiful town, into crystals. Not only that, many residents have gone missing after evacuation. It did worry them two for the missing residents, but must find the root of the wear about of this mysterious ghost. 

As Gloves and Sapphire hear what Haircuff say to them while pointing the house that he existed, they nodded and gone into the house with their commrads and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Once they stocking up for their eventual fight, they were guided by small Lost Souls to their first destination. The town was crystallized and abandoned as Haifcuff said, it did gave them chills down their spins. Especially seeing a few human who were unfortunately turned to statues. Poor beans. May their souls rest in solid crystals.

Hearing Strappon orders, they stick together to find some clues that could help. Walking in a narrow path and seeing few notes that was on the ground. They pick it up and read to see if their's any good clues. Unfortunately for them, their was no good clues. Only bad ones. So when they're done reading the notes, they toss it in the air, leading the wind guide them, and search for more clues. Yet, no luck for them to find any good clues. Man, what a drag. As they see others coming back into a group with notes in their hands, they gone back into a group also with disappointed look on their faces. Hearing of where the crystal cave is at and Haircuff pointed the mountain with his staff, their mouth drops again as you can see with in their eyes, its a long road for them to walk. 

Following Haircuff and Luna to the destination, it wasn't an easy cakewalk. It was the longest mountain walk they ever experience. When they finally made it to the cave, Gloves and Sapphire immediately sit down on a cold solid ground for which they are tired out. Moment of rest to regain energy, Gloves got up with small recovery and same goes with Sapphire as she got up also and both enter the cave with the rest of the group.

As they gone into the cave to find the mysterious ghost, the ghost found them in the cave. Well...sort of. It did hit the wall and got no eyes, so they observe it as a blind ghost dragon. 

With a smile on their faces and thinking its going to be easy, they transform their namesakes and gone in to attack it head on, but their attacks did no damage to it. "What the - OOF!" Gloves was interrupted as he got smack by it tail at his abdomen and was knock backwards. "Gloves!" Sapphire shouted. The ghost dragon hears her voice and got smack by its tail behind her back and sending to where Gloves is at. As they try to get up, without warning, the ghost dragon tomped the ground breaking underneath its strength and sending out its crystal breath.

Everyone that was inside the cave was blacked out. 

Once woken in the different area, Gloves feels like he's been partying too hard and got a huge headache in his right skull. Looking around, he sees others are woken up, seeing Sapphire rubbing her soar back on his left side, the area that their in is what seemed like a small encampment, and what they're resting on is some kind of cots made of furs and bedding. Which was really comfortable.

Gloves can't understand of what had happen in the cave. Everyone was fighting so hard, but the damages did absolutely nothing to it. Why can't they repent it?

As Haircuff explained to the rest of Angels of what had happen inside that cave along with Shade, Gloves and Sapphire was feeling a little down from their experience of attacking head on without thinking and didn't realize that Northern Ghosts are ancient. "Well, that explains why our attacks can't do nothing." Gloves said. Listening to them more, their might be a way to defeat it, but they don't know what it is. When they're done talking to them, Haircuff began healing all of them with his soothing smooth tone. His voice was so calming and was so smooth that their inner souls are melting from his melody. Man, for a rich guy that own bunch of drakes, he got the talent of being in a show of "Got Talent". While Haircuff's singing, their wounds are healed up and they don't feel no pain anymore. As he was done singing, they applause to him for singing that wonderful melody. 

As they heard Strappon and Cowlneck words from them, they nodded, got up from their comfortable beds, exit the tents, and headed off to the cave. Like Cowlneck said, "We need to head into the cave and kick some dragon ass."

Phew! Now that's out of the way, let's continue the story.

When Gloves and Sapphire reaches the cave, they saw Duster from afar. Both of them wave to him with a smile on their faces, pass by him, and gone with the others inside a dark cave. "Alright. Time to find that ghost and find its weakness. Right Sapphire?" He ask her. But she didn't respond. "Right?" He ask again, but to no reply. He turn his head towards her to see why she isn't replying. As he did, he see her shaken of the dark cavern with a frighten expression. "Oh, right." He thought to himself. "From the first fight we all did, it was close to the exit where the lights are at and Sapphire wasn't afraid at that time, but now that all of use have to go in deeper, Sapphire's scared of it." Even though he doesn't care much about the dark, he have to care for Sapphire sake. As Gloves summon his left glove into his holy virtue gauntlet, he summon Torch from his palm and illuminate the surrounding inside the cave. Sapphire saw the Torch that Gloves did and she was ease, just a little. "T-Thanks Gloves." She said to him. "You're welcome." He reply and both of them move forward with the rest of the group.
